Research Interests

Computing has emerged as a preeminent component
underpinning much of present day technology. However its actual
value lies in its application to problems and systems outside of the
purely computational domain. The AEL provides the infrastructure needed
to apply computational resources to an important subset of these
applications: those including physical technologies such as optics,
wireless, robotics and so forth. This enables experimental
endeavors normally beyond the reach of non-engineering institutions
such as UNC. The AEL is a testbed to
explore innovative technological applications for computers, while also providing hardware system prototyping
resources for departmental researchers and collaborators.
